Course Orientation
You will become familiar with the course, your classmates, and our learning environment. The orientation will also help you obtain the technical skills required for the course.
Week 1: Animals and Sustainable Food Production
This week we will review the universal and historical principles underlying livestock system design, and how management of genetics, nutrition, and the environment have advanced efficiency through their impact on the physiological processes that control animal growth, development, and production
Week 2: Disease as a Barrier to Sustainability
This week we will demonstrate the link between nutrition and health at every stage of life and production by examining the science behind efficient nutritional intake, uptake, and utilization, and exploring the mechanisms by which disease can interfere with these processes.
Week 3: Animals' Response to Infectious Disease
This week we will introduce the concept of the farm and each production system as an ecosystem in which animals and microbes live in mutualistic relationships, and explain the beneficial impact of ecologically managing the microbes alongside the animals to enhance host defense, animal health, and production efficiency.
Week 4: Our Role in Fighting Infectious Disease
This week we consider the ravages of infectious disease on animal well-being and production system efficiency by considering disease as a war between infectious agents and their reluctant hosts, acting both at an individual and population level that can be measured and managed.

This is a very interesting and dynamic course, it gives you a clear picture of the livestock handling and the product processing and it's management.
sustainable food production through livestock is a very organized and impressive course.it fulfill the modern requirements and gives us more efficient knowledge about animals
This was an excellent course. Very topical and well done. So great to hear about livestock management from a veterinary health perspective. Very interesting. Thank you.
Excellent tuition on livestock health and disease through easy-to-follow lectures, illustrated by very helpful props and diagrams.
